one night at -40 °C invalidates months of samples · the sensor costs less than a single reagent lot.

In clinical labs, an overnight ultra-cold failure isn't a product loss — it's the invalidation of irreplaceable samples, the loss of months of work, and a critical NOM-007-SSA3 observation that invalidates period results. Continuous monitoring of reagent refrigerators, ultra-low -80 °C, culture media, blood bank, and backup energy.

this is how we look after your laboratory, from the inside.

Each number is a point where a wireless sensor works for you — and the specialist tells you what to do. You install only the ones that apply to your laboratory. The color says what each one protects:

filter:
your lab · over the planisometric map of a clinical laboratory
1ultra-low freezer (-80°C)we alert you before you lose irrecoverable samples and strains
2reagent refrigerator (2-8°C)we alert you to the failure before you discard the most expensive reagent
3sample refrigeratorwe alert you in time, before you lose patient samples
4culture mediawe alert you if temperature compromises the media's viability
5reagent freezer (-20°C)we alert you before a thaw that forces a discard
6analysis areawe alert you if the environment drifts out of 18-25°C and skews results
7emergency generatorwe tell you if the generator did NOT start in the power cut
8RPBI refrigeratorwe log the waste temperature for your NOM-087 record

★ the specialist learns and crosses signals. In the ultra-low freezer (1) it crosses door × temperature ("-72°C and rising, every minute counts") and ignores the normal defrost. And when the power goes, the generator current (7) betrays whether it did NOT start —before the cold runs out—. It all feeds your NOM-007-SSA3 log.

>./workflow·how the data travels

from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention

Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.

01

measure

Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.

02

detect

The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.

03

alert

The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.

04

respond

The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.

05

audit

Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.

Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.

>./faq·VI · common questions before the quote

common questions · before the quote.

what happens if the internet goes out at the branch?

The gateway has 32-hour backup and local buffer. Sensors keep recording · everything syncs on reconnect. If the outage is prolonged, the included cellular backup takes over automatically.

can it connect to existing ultra-low and refrigerators?

Yes. The sensors are external and mount on any equipment · including ultra-low -80 °C with extended-range probes · without touching original equipment and without operational shutdown.

how long does it take to assemble a NOM-007 / EMA report?

Two clicks. The system assembles it automatically with the selected 30 days, per-equipment calibration validity included. PDF ready for EMA visit in less than two minutes.

how are sensors calibrated in labs?

In an accredited laboratory before deployment. Validity tracked per equipment in the dashboard — fundamental for EMA. Recalibration every 12 months (or whatever your quality manual requires). We keep the calendar.

does it integrate with the lab LIS?

Yes · via Custom Integration. We connect you to Roche / Sysmex / Abbott / Beckman Coulter or custom LIS. Cold-chain data arrives at the LIS for result defense.

what happens if a branch closes or relocates?

We recover the equipment · no penalty or de-installation fee. Sensors are designed to move · they can be redeployed to the next branch with low friction.

does it support hospital lab with blood bank?

Yes. We configure dual sensor per hemoderivative refrigerator (NOM-253) plus standard NOM-007 monitoring. Separate reports per unit type to satisfy both regulators.

>./roi·VII · why this is good business

per branch · per year.

~ $300K MXN
approximately · in protected value · per branch · per year

Per typical branch with four to six refrigerators + ultra-low, between protected reagents, saved irrecoverable samples, preserved EMA, and automated NOM-007 compliance: approximately three hundred thousand pesos per year in protected value per branch. For a national chain of fifty branches, the national dashboard protects more than fifteen million pesos per year + the corporate EMA accreditation.

At scale, a critical observation in NOM-007-SSA3 invalidates results for the entire period — months of re-accreditation and loss of trust with referring physicians. The investment is not justified by reagent cost; it is justified by the continuity of EMA accreditation.

The decision is not whether to invest; it's how much it costs not to when a single observation questions the validity of the entire network.
